On August 26, 2023 my brother in Italy fell from 6 meters (20 feet) high and broke his pelvic bone in 2 places on either side of his spine and broke his arm in 2 places. He was performing a task working in construction helping a friend.
His recovery will be long and difficult. He now has pins and an external stabilizer in his pelvis that he will need for the next 3 months at least. During this time, he must stay in a horizontal position laying down and will not be able to bend at the hip for any reason. After these initial 3 months, he will need physical therapy and additional medical care.
He does not have any type of health insurance or short/long term disability insurance. All donations will go to his medical costs and supporting his family while he cannot work at this time. Costs include: hospital and surgery costs, medication, home care for the external pelvic stabilizer, and months of physical therapy after the pelvic stabilizer is removed.
I have included a Google picture of a pelvic stabilizer since he does not want his pictures shared.
Thank you for any help, whether financial or prayers, you send his way. We truly appreciate it and every little bit helps.
